Visual Template

This section comprises standard XML declarations. In addition, this section contains the GUID, which is a unique identifier for the XML template.

Note: If you modify an existing template or create a new Composite Genie template, you should validate the XML file by loading the schema definition file (CompositionTemplate.xsd which is in the <Citect SCADA installation folder>\bin folder) into your XML editor.

If you create your own Composite Genie, you will need to create a GUID for it. Several online tools are available for generating a GUID.

To generate a GUID:

  1. Search for the term "generate GUID" in a browser using any search engine. A list of websites that can generate a GUID is displayed.
  2. Access any one of the sites.
  3. Select the format for the GUID. The GUID format should include braces and hyphens and should be in upper case. For example, {1E49C603-FCBC-4913-ABD1-97920283C6BD}.
  4. Generate the GUID.
